    Split screen is something that I'd like my next phone to have. Can you run Chrome split screen?

    A spare tire is not that big, why not carry one? Yes, you'll need an iron and a pump too.

    Need secure, portable computing environment

    I've removed keyboards from most brands of laptops, it's really not too bad. Just take your time and if you have extra screws at the end, don't worry about it.

    I agree, put an SSD in it and max out the RAM.

    Best movie you've seen

    I find RDJ annoying. I liked Thor better than either Iron Man 1 or 2. I haven't seen the new one yet.

    Do you think I will be able to spend around the same amount of money when the Haswell stuff comes out? I'd like to keep it all around $500.

    Upgrade Parts

    Thanks for the feedback on the board, that's what I was most concerned with choosing. I'm upgrading from a Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 6GB of RAM. That's what I've been running in my desktop system since 10/2007. This is the motherboard I'm currently running. I'd like to upgrade my HTPC as well...

    I don't think anyone should consider ec2 for straight hosting unless they are stupid.

    Amazon EC2

    We use them extensively at my company for development purposes. We pass on all bills to our clients, but like Coug says, if you run them 24/7 you'll be shocked by the price.

    It looks pretty nice. I'm not sure if I would get another case with a door on the front though. I pulled the door off of my Antec P180 shortly after I got it. I also don't bother putting the side on it either.

    I ordered the TV on Sunday. The price dropped a $100 also, so that's a nice bonus. It's supposed to be delivered Thursday.

    How about their other products, such as notebooks, tablets, etc? Do they actually process RMAs for those?

    What could possibly be on there that would make sense to pay you to get it working again?

    My Galaxy S3 fell about 18 inches from my pocket onto concrete and the screen cracked. I looked into replacement, but I was quoted ~$200 from several different repair shops. I just use it with a cracked screen.

    Selecting a new work laptop

    I would never buy a computer that is stuck at 4GB, I can't understand why any manufacturer would even make anything like that at this point.
